FY14 Budget Process Summary
October 2012 Financial Forum:
+2.5% operating budgets with use of $1 million of free cash.
December update:
Cuts to some accommodated costs result in +3.0% operating budgets with use of
$1 million of free cash; very few changes to revenues.
January 2013 update:
State Aid: Governor's estimate +$133,041 versus estimate, but with tax increases
Health Insurance: still unknown. MIIA range 0 to 10% with a 6.2% average.
Reading is 'above average but closer to it'— so +8% assumption seems OK
FY13 health insurance actuals below budget due to low enrollment (opt outs) and
an unexpected mid -year cut to Medex rates for retirees;
Result is a $409.5k cut to the FY14 health insurance premiums budget, a figure
that now assumes no enrollment change and +8% premiums. We should have the
exact premium increase within ten days;
This change to health insurance premiums allows +3.75% operating budgets.
FY14 Cash Reserves Update
Free Cash June 30, 2012 $6,537,985
November & January Town Meetings ($172,773)
General Stabilization Fund $1,545,414
FI NCOM Reserves $143,000
Used in FY14 budget ($1,000,000)
TOTAL $7,053,666
which is 9.2% of estimated FY14 net available revenues
FY14 Budget Status Update
Town Manager's draft Town budget meets +3.0% guideline
List of over $300k of desired additions developed and prioritized through
Selectmen's budget and internal staff meetings;
3.75% guideline allows over $118k of these items to be funded.
Superintendent's School budget was $556,797 over +3.0% guideline
School Committee School budget was $756,797 over +3.0% guideline
Staff suggestion is to request $310,000 in FY14 curriculum needs at April
Town Meeting. This amount was otherwise requested in both School
budgets cited above. Since this is a one -time expenditure, staff are
suggesting funding this in FY13 through a transfer of a portion of the
$400,000 appropriated to capital for School enrollment (FDK) issues;
3.75% guideline allows a School budget of $38,517,704 which is now in
between the two budgets above as adjusted for this curriculum funding
method (Superintendent's revised FY14 budget is $38,501,365 and School
Committee revised budget is $38,701,365);
Schools are working on list of priorities to present to FINCOM as part of the
March budget process.
Town Facilities budget from both Superintendent and School Committee is
$45,018 below what a +3.75% operating budget would allow. Those funds are not
redistributed in the discussion above.

Library Building Committee
There is hereby established a Library Building Committee.
Background & Mission
The Reading Library Board of Trustees has applied for and been awarded (in October 2012) an
approximately $5.1 million construction grant by the Massachusetts Library Board of Commissioners.
This grant award was as a result of an application and extensive planning effort by the Reading
Public Library through its Board of Trustees and staff, with it's OPM and Architect. The project is to
conduct a full renovation /reconstruction of the existing building, plus an addition of approximately
8,000 square feet. The project is intended to develop a building with a useful life of at least 50 years,
and a functional life of at least 20 years before any significant programmatic modifications are
required.
The Library Building Committee shall provide advice to the Facilities Director, who shall be
responsible for the management of the building project, and to the Town Manager who pursuant to
the Reading Home Rule Charter is responsible for the awarding of contracts and carrying out of
improvements to all public buildings except for the buildings of the School Department and the
Reading Municipal Light Department.
The Library Building Committee shall report periodically to the Library Board of Trustees, Town
Meeting, and other bodies as requested on the progress of the Library project.
The Library Building Committee shall:
(1) To the extent that it does not delay the process, give advice to the Town Manager on the
selection of the Architect and Owners Project Manager (OPM) selection for the project.
(2) Review the detailed options for renovation /reconstruction of existing space and addition of
additional space to the existing library building at 64 Middlesex Ave. including a discussion of
expected timelines and costs; and
(3) Developing a recommended proposal for the final design. The Library Building Committee will
base its recommendation on the detailed program needs developed as part of the application
process for State aid, and approved by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
(4) Monitor the bid process and make a recommendation as to the award of construction bids.
(5) Provide input into the arrangements for temporary space for the library during the construction
project.
(6) Monitor the construction process, working with the Facilities Director to determine how the project
is tracking with respect to the construction contract, timelines, and cost.
(7) Review change order and make a recommendation as to their approval
Committee Membership
The Library Building Committee shall consist of ten (10) members appointed as noted below.
♦ 2 members of the Library Board of Trustees appointed by the Board of Trustees
♦ 2 members of the Library staff, which may include the Library Director, and who shall be

&-i
♦ 2 members of Town Meeting appointed by the Town Moderator
♦ 2 residents of the community who have experience and expertise in construction projects as an

Finance Committee Meeting
January 9, 2013
The meeting convened at 7:35 p.m. in the Town Hall Conference Room, 16 Lowell Street,
Reading, Massachusetts. Present were Chairman David Greenfield, Vice Chairman Barry
Berman and members Jeanne Borawski, Mark Dockser, Karen Herrick, Paul McNeice, Jeff
Perkins and Paula Perry. Also present was Town Manager Peter Hechenbleikner, Assistant Town
Manager/Finance Director Bob LeLacheur, Board of Selectmen Chairman Steve Goldy, Board of
Selectmen Ben Tafoya, Selectman John Arena, Library Board of Trustees Chairman David
Hutchinson, Vice Chairman Dick Curtis and Trustees Cherrie DuBois, Alice Collins, Andrew
Grimes and Vicky Yablonsky and Library Director Ruth Urell, and resident Steve Crook;
FINCOM member Hal Torman was absent.
Mr. Greenfield called the meeting to order.
Review January 28 Special Town Meeting Warrant
Article 3 /Amend FY13 -22 Capital Plan: Mr. LeLacheur described three requests for the School
Facilities to be funded in January and two changes to future general fund capital. The FY13
requests include $25,000 for Parker MS tymnasium wall padding for student safety; $25,000 for
RMHS furniture in light of the large 8 grade class entering for next year; and $27,500 for
security system upgrades at various school buildings.
On a motion by Mr. Berman seconded by Ms. Borawski, FINCOM recommended the
subiect matter of the Article by a vote of 8-0 -0. Ms. Perry will give the report at Town
Meeting.
Article 4 /Amend FY13 Budget: Mr. LeLacheur described the requests which include the three
capital items as previously described; $46,000 in interest costs to settle some long - standing
Assessors abatements (interest cannot be paid from the overlay fund); $7,000 for
Finance /election wages as the November Presidential election was about $10,000 over budget
due to staffing needs to operate during heavy voter turnout while RMHS was in session; $10,000
for Finance/HR expenses to pay for an Assessment Center for Police promotions; and a shift of
$11,000 from Community Services/Veterans wages to expenses in anticipation of joining a
Veteran's District with Melrose, Wakefield and Saugus. Mr. Berman asked where the Police
assessment center would be held, and Mr. Hechenbleikner replied that it would be held in Town
Hall. He described previous assessment centers and stressed the importance of hiring the right
person.
On a motion by Mr. Greenfield seconded by Ms. Herrick, FINCOM recommended the
subiect matter of the Article by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Ms. Herrick will give the report at Town
Meeting.
Article 5/Prior Year Bill: Mr. LeLacheur reminded FINCOM that this $500 bill was discussed at
November Town Meeting as a likely expense because a law firm forgot to send invoices out to
several municipalities for about six months, crossing fiscal years.
1`l
On a motion by Ms. Perry seconded by Mr. Dockser, FINCOM recommended the subiect
matter of the Article by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Mr. McNeice will give the report at Town Meeting.
Article 6/Library building renovation and expansion project: Mr. Hutchinson gave a background
to the process which began in 2007 /8 with evaluations of the building from both a structural and
programmatic angle. He stated that . early on five options were considered, including doing
nothing, minimal fixes, a brand new building in a different location, significant renovations to
the existing building, and those renovations plus an expansion of the floor space. Very strong
feedback from the community through a series of public meetings directed the group to focus on
keeping the present building and location.
Mr. Hutchinson explained that the state grant allowed for a 5% change from the submitted plans,
but any larger change would not be funded without reapplying. Mr. Hechenbleikner explained
that the state requirement from a library program standpoint was to create a facility that would
last for twenty years; from a building standpoint the structure should be thought of as a 30+ year
investment. Ms. Perry asked to what level of detail was the state was involved. Ms. Urell replied
that there were 13 functional areas examined, and the level of detail was right down to the seats,
materials and computers available. Mr. Hutchinson explained that a library architect was hired
because of this exacting level of detail required.
Mr. Berman asked what the cost of doing nothing to the facility is, because it is surely not zero.
He asked to distinguish between renovate and expand the floor plan, and what are the costs. Mr.
Greenfield asked about the $9 million in construction costs and what the weaknesses in the
building are and the specific repair costs. Mr. Hechenbleikner and Mr. Grimes explained that
these were estimates, based on 31,000 square feet and costs of $258 /square foot for renovation.
Ms. Herrick asked about the design contingency, and Ms. Urell replied that at this point the
Town only had schematic designs, but for example a corridor might need to be added for traffic
flow.
Mr. Brown asked if the costs were for the roof structure or the roof itself, and Mr.
Hechenbleikner described the last renovation where the roof was omitted to cut costs, then
replaced within a few years. Ms. Urell described how the chimneys and turrets leak, but .the
structure itself is fine. Mr. Dockser asked about other projects and how costs compare, if there
was any federal funding available, and if Reading would hire a project manager. Ms. Urell said
she was not aware of any federal funding for library building projects, and that a project manager
would be hired. Mr. Grimes added that a local donations discussion has started in the
community. Mr. Greenfield asked what the Selectmen think about this project, and Mr. Tafoya
replied that the Board was interested in the accuracy of renovation costs and who would be
responsible during the construction process, both for longer term policy and then the day -to -day
decisions. Mr. Hechenbleikner said that his view was that both the Facilities department and
Library Director would report to the Town Manager on this project. He added that he was in
favor of a Library Building Committee that would be advisory to both the Town Manager and
the Facilities Director, and that it would include library staff, FINCOM, Trustees and residents.
On the matter of project cost he stated that it was best to know the revised cost now and not after
a bid process, and Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that the increases were not in reimbursable items
so the Town did not miss out on any state aid. Mr. Van Magness said he didn't think his group
iS
was yet ready to go to Town Meeting. He asked what the project alternatives were, along with
those costs. He reminded FINCOM about OPEB and all the other large -scale projects that might
proceed as debt exclusions. Mr. Greenfield agreed that those other projects were important to
consider, and that's why they were reviewed at November Town Meeting and will be again at
January Town Meeting. He said that all we can ' do is make the best decision possible with the
best information we have available. Mr. Hechenbleikner stated that the Library project was
ranked highest by the ad hoc Municipal Building Committee a few years ago. Mr. McNeice
asked if the figure of $20,000 for an extra election was correct, and Mr. LeLacheur replied that it
was in that ballpark. Mr. Hechenbleikner said that one option was to defer this Town Meeting
vote to the Annual Town Meeting, and then to have a special election.
Mr. Greenfield wondered how FINCOM could vote on this project without knowing the costs of
alternatives. He polled other FINCOM members. Mr. McNeice said that he could not vote
tonight in the absence of such information, and Ms. Borawski agreed. She added that the project
probably makes sense because of the grant, but there was not enough information to be certain.
Mw. Herrick said that the Article should not go forward to Town Meeting if the FINCOM did
not vote, and Ms. Perry agreed that a FINCOM vote was critical for Town Meeting to have. She
said that while there was not exact information that she knew there was a significant cost to do
nothing. Mr. Grimes said that the decision was made nearly seven years ago as to what
alternative to select, and that's why a menu of choices and costs was not presented now. Mr.
Berman said that he would vote now because he knew of all the past emergency repairs and that
significant work was needed on the building.
Mr. Arena stated that the project history is what it is, but the perception of new Town Meeting
members was important to consider. He said that there would be only one shot at this, and said
there was no reason to rush to failure — there was much risk in not taking the time needed and
holding a special election instead. Mr. Greenfield said that the Article could be postponed to
April Town Meeting if needed.
Mr. Crook asked if there was a ballpark figure available for the repairs only portion of the
project. He said it is important to consider longer -term costs as well as project costs. Ms. Urell
said a specific number was not available for repairs only, and Mr. Hechenbleikner stated that it
would be very expensive and time consuming to get a detailed alternative set of costs. Mr.
Bonazoli said that the other projects and challenges would be presented at Town Meeting, and
Mr. Berman said we didn't have perfect information on any of these projects. Mr. Bonazoli said
that ultimately the residents of the Town will set the priorities. Mr. Dockser said he liked Mr.
Crook's idea of looking at 10 -20 year costs for alternatives.
Mr. Greenfield stated that FINCOM would not vote on Article 6 tonight. FINCOM agreed to join
a Selectman's meeting on January 23, 2013 in order to get an update on alternative costs. Mr
Greenfield will write a report to Town Meeting.
Article 7/Pearl Street eminent domain: Mr. Hechenbleikner explained to FINCOM that the title
to this property was not clear, the origins cannot be traced. He said there might be a $1
consideration fee, which is why FINCOM could vote this Article.
On a motion by Mr. Berman seconded by Mr. McNeice, FINCOM recommended the
subject matter of the Article by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Mr. Dockser will give the report at Town
Meeting.
Article 8/Walker's Brook easement: Mr. Hechenbleikner explained to FINCOM the desire for a
bus shelter and the possibility of a $1 consideration fee also.
On a motion by Mr. Greenfield seconded by Ms. Borawski, FINCOM recommended the
subiect matter of the Article by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Ms. Borawski will give the report at Town
Meeting.
Article 10 /electronic billboard: Mr. Hechenbleikner explained to FINCOM the recent history of
two test cases along rte. 93 and that late last fall the state changed the rules to allow electronic
billboards. He stated that the only place in Reading that met the state's criteria was at the West
Street Mobil station, where it would be placed to be visible for the highway traffic. He explained
as host community the Town would receive an annual sum of between $25k and $50k from a
vendor that was in negotiations. He said that other benefits would be that other billborads in
town along Main street would be taken down within five years, and that the Town would get
some advertising time on the electronic billboard. He reminded FINCOM that this idea came
from a Financial Forum a couple of years ago about ways to raise revenue, and that FINCOM's
role was the financial aspect of this proposal.
On a motion by Mr. Dockser seconded by Ms. Herrick. FINCOM recommended the
subiect matter of the Article by a vote of 8 -0 -0. Mr. Berman will give the report at Town
Meeting.
